Dandruff is the flaking of the stratum corneum in the form of dead scales. Such particles cannot leave the hairline due to improper functioning of the sebaceous glands, which produce an excess amount of sebum. A trichologist will help to establish the cause and subsequent treatment with drugs, in consultation with whom you can also consult about using folk remedies. Natural ingredients will help restore the structure of hair and skin.
Reasons for the appearance
Dandruff results from three main factors and their combinations:
- Incorrect work of the sebaceous glands... The secretion of sebum directly depends on the normal functioning of metabolism, the state of the immune and digestive systems. If one concept is violated, seborrhea (dandruff) develops, which is divided into dry and oily. The latter is characterized by enlarged pores and rapid hair pollution.
- Fungal diseases... Dry type of seborrhea occurs against the background of the rapidly developing fungus "Pityrosporum Ovale". High immunity does not allow microorganisms to multiply, however, prolonged depletion allows microbes to grow. Their growth contributes to an increase in the number of epidermal cells and, as a result, exfoliation of the skin. The dandruff period lasts 5-7 days. It is accompanied by itching and hair thinning.
- Individual characteristics... Hereditary predisposition and seasonal changes also affect the appearance of dandruff.
Dermatologists believe that people with weak immune systems are more prone to flaky scalp. In such a situation, seborrhea acts as a secondary disease. For example, against the background of reduced immunity in the presence of HIV infection.
Folk remedies
It is important to understand that such methods are a preventative measure. Dandruff on the head does not appear on its own. Microcracks and deterioration of the scalp are the result of any disease or failure in the general metabolic processes. So, consider folk remedies for seborrhea.
Egg masks
A huge number of recipes from chicken eggs will help you forget about seborrhea for a long time. Eggs in combination with other products will help not only restore the scalp, but also strengthen the hair structure. For a complete recovery, it is recommended to use masks at least twice a week.
Recipes:
- Separate the yolk from the white and beat both elements well. The first to rub the protein into the scalp. After 5 minutes, it is the turn of the yolk. The mixture must dry, after which it must be washed off with warm water.
- To prepare the next mask, you need to brew 2 tbsp. l. chamomile. Take 50 ml of broth and mix with protein until smooth. The mask is left for 15 minutes. Then wash off with shampoo.
- Melt 2 tbsp. l. honey and beat 2 yolks. Heat 3 tbsp. burdock oil and mix with the rest of the ingredients. The product is applied not only to the hair roots and scalp, but is also distributed along the entire length of the hair structure. Cover your head with a towel. The mask is left for 30 minutes and then washed off with shampoo.
- Beat 1 egg with a mixer and add 100 ml of kefir until a homogeneous consistency is achieved. Massage the mixture into the hair roots and wrap it with a plastic bag and towel. Wash off after half an hour.
- 1 tsp olive oil, 2 tbsp. l. lemon juice and 2 egg yolks must be thoroughly mixed and rubbed into the scalp. Leave on for 30 minutes and then rinse well under cold water. It is possible to get rid of dandruff with this method by applying the mask at least 1 time per week. Can be used as a preventive measure.
Onion mask
Even onion peels have healing properties. 50 grams of onion husks pour 1 liter of boiling water. Leave to infuse for 40 minutes. Rinse hair with onion broth after each shampooing. It is not recommended to use a decoction for women with blond hair, as the decoction can slightly dye them.
- Pour 100 grams of tansy flowers with 3 liters of water. Boil for 10 minutes and leave to infuse overnight. The next day, before washing your hair, you should warm up and strain the solution. It takes at least 5 minutes to rinse your head.
- 250 grams of nettle pour 1.5 liters of water. The broth is prepared in a water bath for 20 minutes. Leave to infuse for 4-5 hours. Nettle decoction should be applied after each hair wash.
- Elecampane is used in its pure form in two ways. The easiest is to rub the tincture into the scalp, which is washed off after half an hour. To prepare the infusion, you need 3 tsp. elecampane roots, which must be filled with 500 ml of boiled water. The mixture is left to infuse for 30 minutes. The second method is no different in preparation. Only in addition to elecampane, St. John's wort and burdock roots are also added (2 tablespoons of each element are mixed until smooth and 250 ml of boiled water are poured).
Tar or laundry soap
Both laundry and tar soaps help to balance the skin. The latter contains from 8 to 10% of birch tar, which does not cause allergic reactions. Healing of small cracks in the skin occurs due to drying of the edges of the wound. The tar composition helps to increase blood circulation, thereby increasing tissue regeneration.
In the process of treatment, it is required to moisturize the hair and rub the roots with tar soap. Then the composition must be foamed along the entire length of the hair and allowed to dry for a couple of minutes. Over time, wash off the soap, apply hair balm and rinse again. To eliminate dandruff, it is recommended to use the product within two weeks.
Laundry soap has similar properties. A high alkali value - 0.15-0.20% (pH 11-12) dries the skin, reducing the secretion of the sebaceous glands. At the same time, the saturated fatty acids included in it strengthen the hair structure. It is recommended to use laundry soap no more than twice a week. After getting rid of dandruff, soap can be used as a preventive measure - once a month.
Do not abuse hair washing with tar and laundry soap due to the high alkali content. As a result of constant drying, the hair becomes thinner and becomes brittle.
It is important to understand that without a healthy lifestyle, folk recipes will be ineffective. Dandruff is caused by a malfunction of the immune or digestive system, so that microorganisms can multiply unhindered. In order not to turn to the help of medicine and folk recipes every time, you need to change the daily routine.
A healthy sleep for 8 hours can improve well-being, and giving up alcohol and other bad habits will increase tissue regeneration many times over. Nutrition also plays an important role. Abuse of spicy and fatty foods leads to disruption of the intestines, which affects the condition of the skin in the form of acne and seborrhea.
If the anti-dandruff shampoo you are using does not work for you, try the proven folk methods of dealing with dandruff at home and you will forever forget about those terrible white flakes in your hair.

Dandruff is not only a local dermatological problem, but also a sign of serious disorders in the body. It is advisable to use any drugs after consulting a trichologist.
The appearance of dandruff can indicate possible diseases of the scalp, lack of vitamins and substances. It is triggered by hormonal disruption, metabolic disorders, stress, or a weakened immune system.
The main reason for the appearance of dandruff is the activation of the fungus. Under the influence of some factors, microorganisms begin to multiply. As a result, the skin becomes irritated, itchy, reddened, and increased exfoliation of the stratum corneum. Treatment must be timely, otherwise the fungus will progress.
You can get rid of it in two ways:
- Eliminate the underlying causes of increased activity.
- Combine local treatment. These include: shampoos, vitamins, medications, ointments, ampoules, serums and folk recipes.
The main anti-dandruff drugs are divided into the following groups:
- Medicines... They include components that minimize the activity of the disease and destroy microorganisms. These include: sulfur, octopyrox, climbazole, tar, selenium disulfide.
- Medicines... They reduce intense peeling and normalize the stratum corneum. The most popular anti-fungal agent is considered to be a medicated shampoo. It contains zinc pyrithionate, which dissolves in sebaceous secretions.
- Exfoliating products... Most often used for psoriasis and seborrhea. These diseases provoke the multiplication of new cells of the epidermis. In this case, salicylic acid is used. It effectively removes fungal layers and reduces the risk of recurrence.
- Pharmacy preparations with natural composition... Each remedy has its own effect, so they can be combined with each other. Chamomile and calendula extracts reduce itching and soothe irritation. Cedar, pine and juniper resins normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, eliminate the causes and conditions for the progression of the disease, and also narrow and cleanse the pores.
